Nevermind, the good news is that we have a shoot lined up for 101 Penis and 101 Breasts in Sydney this week.

This Thursday 14 May, 7-9pm in Marrickville.

Sorry for the short notice, there will be more in the future.

Get in touch via the contact page if you are interested in participating.

Please see the 101 Vagina project to get a good understanding of what it’s about. The websites for 101penis.com and 101breasts.com are also live, but there’s not much there yet.

NOTES:
– For those not familiar with these projects, this is not about shooting big cocks and perky tits. I want as much diversity in age, shape, size colour etc as possible. Know anyone who’s had a mastectomy for example?

– Every participant will need to email me their “message from or about their penis/breasts to the world” before they attend the shoot. Please give it some consideration, it’s your chance to open your heart around these issues. It can be an experience, story or poem; between a word and a page. Email this to vagina@101vagina.com before you attend the shoot.

– You will need to sign a standard model release form (I use the form available from the RMIT website).

– Location is in Marrickville. (I’ll give the address to participants individually since it’s a private home)

– Participating is anonymous. Please respect the privacy of anyone you may meet there, it is up to them if they want to tell others that they have participated, not up to you.

– Feel free to share this event with anyone else who may be interested, but note that I will not photograph anyone who has not emailed their message through before they come.

101 Vagina is about breaking down the taboo around vaginas and body image shame generally. It confronts the lies we are told about what’s normal and celebrates our uniqueness and diversity. 101 Vagina is also about the sharing of story, of experience; the passing down of knowledge and wisdom.

This book contains 101 beautiful black and white photos of 101 women, along with a message, story or poem written by each woman to accompany their photo. The messages are candid and span the spectrum of emotions. They are raw and honest and form a small compendium of women’s experiences with their bodies and womanhood in general, with a focus on the vagina.

I was very please to receive a phone call from a journalist at the Globe and Mail who wanted to cover the Toronto leg of the 101 Vagina exhibition tour. The newspaper is the largest daily paper, circulated throughout Canada.

The article came out just in time for the exhibition, 12 June 2014

"I am a sex therapist and have written articles about vaginas and vulvas, as I realise how many women have an issue with the look of them. Having your book, I can show them the variety of shapes and sizes, the book will be very educational. Good luck with the book!"Matty Silver

"Everybody needs to see more vagina while they sip their coffee!"Angela White

"Hey there, I’ve seen your posters alllll over Brunswick St, and I have to say I.am.loving.it! After 25 years of not accepting my ‘female bits’, I’ve finally said enough is enough! I want to love my whole self, including the bits seen as ‘dirty’ amongst society and throughout the years & faiths. Women are beautiful, loving, intuitive creatures, and we need to start believing in that- and LIVING that! For ourselves, and for the sake of future generations. ... "Tameka
